The training program usually consists of two fellows rotating at our Galveston and Clear Lake Campuses. Both fellows will be responsible for the daily volume of neuroimaging studies. Fellows will prepare and present at interdisciplinary conferences including neurosurgery tumor board, head and neck tumor board, and interesting case conferences with the neurology residents. A month-long neurointerventional radiology rotation is also provided. Fellows will have the opportunity to become proficient and independent in therapeutic spine procedures including epidural steroid injections, facet blocks, and image-guided lumbar punctures and myelograms.
Fellows have the opportunity to learn from senior, experienced Neuroradiologists, including extensive exposure to all aspects of Head and Neck Imaging under the guiadance of former ASHNR Preseident, Lawrence E. Ginsberg, who is also Fellowship Director.
Two to three residents will also rotate through the neuroradiology section on month-long rotations, and fellows are expected to supervise residents and rotating medical students including assisting with questions regarding procedure protocolling. The fellow will be expected to create and present one full-length didactic lecture on a topic of his/her choosing for the noon resident conferences over the course of the year. Fellows are also expected to participate in and contribute to a monthly intradepartmental journal club and weekly interesting case conference.
In-house moonlighting opportunities to take general weekend call may be available for eligible candidates.
